The event will feature 35 carnival games (including the usual favorites such as Plinko, soda ring toss, chip toss and candy walk), prizes, a bid-n-buy, food and raffles. Grand raffle items include a one-week stay at a two-bedroom condo in Hilton Head, SC. Reverse raffle prizes are $1,500 or $500.

To prepare for the carnival, students participated in a promotional poster contest to advertise the event. Winning posters will be chosen based on originality and accuracy. Contest winners were sixth-graders Ashley Smith, Imani Joshi and Lindsey Stevens and fifth-graders Nicole Lim, Maddie Suh and Alexus Fountain.

Each winning student received 20 tickets to use at the carnival.

Sponsored by the Edwin H. Greene PTO, the carnival is open to the public.

Tickets can be purchased at the event. Game and food tickets are two for $1. Reverse raffle tickets are $10 each. Condo raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $25.

Funds generated during the carnival support student programs and technology purchases for the school. In 2013, more than $21,000 was raised for Edwin H. Greene.
